Forecasts

Kudbegood (10/3), Lake George (11/2), Keep Believing (7/1), Beau Rocko (7/1), Villa Maria (7/1), Tio Esteban (9/1), Amazing One (10/1), Taceec (12/1), Button Popper (12/1), Lady Sonia (12/1), Dont Quit (12/1), Rise Again (16/1), Burren View Lady (16/1), Mooborak (16/1), Talk Now (20/1), Heavens Align (20/1), Mimic's Memory (25/1), Heart Of Gold (25/1)

Veteran LAKE GEORGE is well handicapped on his old form and he is taken to make a winning seasonal debut in this large field apprentice handicap. The selection can get the better of Kudbegood who has placed on his last three starts while Tio Esteban, who should appreciate the step back up in distance can take third.
